Cover: New breakwater and LNG Terminal | Port of Swinoujscie | Poland The port of Swinoujscie, Poland, situated directly on the sea, is among the largest seaports in the Baltic Sea region. The project includes the construction of LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) terminals, and new facilities for ships with a draught of 13.5 m and length up to 300 m. The LNG terminal, a facility to off-take and re-gasify liquefied natural gas, is designed as an external port situated next to the new larger and longer eastern breakwater. The terminal will receive vessels of about 70 000 DWT (dead weight tonnes). The new...

The essential characteristics of Z-sections are the continuous form of the web and the location of the interlock symmetrically on each side of the neutral axis. Both aspects have a positive influence on the section modulus. The AZ series, a section with extraordinary characteristics and the proven qualities of the Larssen interlock, has the following advantages: - Extremely competitive section-modulus-to-mass ratio. - Increased inertia for reduced deflection. - Large width, resulting in good installation performance. - Good corrosion resistance, the steel being thickest at the critical corrosion...

Crimping Pile length ≥ 6 m: 6 crimping points per 3.6 m Amount and layout of crimping points may differ at both ends. Special crimping on request. - Single piles easily bend around the weak axis under driving. - Faster installation progress with double piles. Threaded AZ double piles are recommended for facilitating the installation process. AZ double piles are not crimped for statical reasons. However, due to customer demand, most of our AZ piles are crimped according to our standard specification, for the following reasons: Tie back system Most sheet pile retaining walls need supplementary...
